. the air's so appetizin'; and the landscape through the haze Of a crisp and sunny morning of the airly autumn days Is a pictur' that no painter has the colorin' to mock — When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock." The Hoosier bard has done us all a rare service in stimulating our eyes to see, and our ears to hear, in all the little commonplaces about us, those endlessly changing details which make life everywhere so un- fathomably, immeasurably wondrous. In his "Life at th...e Lake" we behold nature as truly a miracle, getting that inspiration which miracles always breathe into the spirit of mankind. We behold : "The green below and the blue above! — The waves caressing the shores they love." We hear "The leaf-hid locust whet his wings," — and we are glad to be told what the locust is doing when he makes that peculiar noise; we never knew before; but now it does sound like the farmer whet- ting his scythe. Vividness distinguishes the descrip- tive passages of all of Riley's nature poetry.
